A Commemorative Coin

June 24, 2010

Are you an enthusiast of collecting coins? This is also known as a King’s Hobby. The motivations of collecting coins is varied, some hobbyist collect it for fun and enthusiasm. The other reason is investment; depending on the value of the coin. It is like a land, as the years go by the value of the land will go up.

I have this commemorative coin. This coin had passed a lot of hands. What I mean is this: It was given to my Aunt from her former Korean mother-in-law as token. I guess she was grateful and happy to have her as her daughter-in-law. After that, my aunt gave it to my father who in turn gives it to my mother for keepsake.

We are always moving on different locations; mother decided to give it to me for safekeeping. I have no knowledge of the coins worth but the personal value of this coin is very important to me.

Sorry, it's blurred, I am only using my cellphone camera.

This is a commemorative coin when the Olympic was held in Seoul, Korea in 1988. Here’s the information from the coin.
